I'm with Matt..lots of love, lots of patience, lots of structure. I try to make sure my fosters learn basic manners, housetraining and crate training. So when they are placed, they have a head start on being perfect for their new family.

ok, whoever said she'd become a member of our household permanently, you all get a biscuit! She is just the sweetest thing, and we've decided to adopt her. We're going to continue fostering, to keep her socialized and to help out more pups!

My boyfriend is absolutely smitten with her. She LOVES to run up the steps on our deck, but the very bottom one is just a little too high so we pick her up and place her on it. During this morning's potty adventure, I noticed he put a plastic box at the bottom step which is just high enough to give her a little lift for that step! And, she knew to use it already! She's so smart!

This is why even though my boyfriend and I have a three dog agreement, my second dog will be a foster. So then I have room to "fail" and still be able to take in fosters for my third dog. Just hope I don't "fail" twice!! BTW - I saw her on the Pittie Love site and she just looked like a little baby doll! I'm glad she is as sweet as she looks! Congratulations!!!
